General Description
The HMC424LP3 & HMC424LP3E are broadband
6-bit GaAs IC digital attenuators in low cost leadless
surface mount packages. Covering DC to 13 GHz, the
insertion loss is less then 4 dB typical. The attenuator
bit values are 0.5 (LSB), 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 dB for a
total attenuation of 31.5 dB. Attenuation accuracy is
excellent at ± 0.5 dB typical step error with an IIP3 of
+32 dBm. Six control voltage inputs, toggled between
0 and -5V, are used to select each attenuation state.
A single Vee bias of -5V allows operation at frequencies down to DC.
Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, With Vee = -5V & VCTL= 0/-5V

The circuit board used in the application should use
RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should
have 50 Ohm impedance while the package ground
leads and exposed paddle should be connected
directly to the ground plane similar to that shown.
A sufficient number of via holes should be used to
connect the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite
upon request.
